Great Bass! GONE WRONG.

[MTXwoofers]

I recently installed a system in my car. It included two twelve inch MTX thunder subwoofers, together in a cab, an MTX 600XD amplifier, and all te necessary wires. I ran the power from the pos end of the battery to the amp, i attached the left back speaker of my stock sound system to the left channel of the amp, the amp to the subs in the cabinet, the ground to the grounding bolt under my removable plastc cover where the trunk closes. I even ran a manual gain dial to the front of the car. The Amp is 600 watt rms, it has four ohms resistance i believe. The speakers hve 750 watts and 2 ohms each. IF i did the math correctly than each speaker should be getting 600 watts.... WHY then; did my left sub de-magnetize? Why did the spring/coiled up wire in between the magnet and the cone unravel?? Does this even have anything to do with resstance like i think it does??? Please help ME!! (also i should note these subs have an in-line fuse in the power line and the speakers worked GREAT for well over a month......what happened?)

OP, you need to have someone else install your system once you get stuff repaired/replaced. It sounds like you have no idea what you're doing. Not trying to knock you, but I think you need to spend a while combing the forums and learning some stuff before you try to install again. Everyone starts at the bottom, but you're going to lose a lot of money if you don't learn afew things before you try again.

So if you need bass NOW, have someone else do it, then try your next setup yourself when you've learned some stuff. If you can wait, spend a month or two asking questions and reading through stuff, then go for it again.

Maybe it was just a bad sub and the tinsel leads snapped. Were the amp gains set high?
